  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 potato, peeled and diced
  • 6 cups vegetable broth or water

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

This is an efficient list.

Prepare all ingredients.

Instructions

Let’s break down the process into easy-to-follow steps.

Step 1: Sauté Vegetables. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2: Add Garlic. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 3: Add Remaining Ingredients. Stir in the rinsed split peas, diced potato, bay leaf, dried thyme, and smoked paprika. Pour in the vegetable broth or water. Stir to combine.

Step 4: Simmer. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the split peas are tender and the soup has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 5: Season and Serve. Remove the bay leaf and discard. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley.

These instructions are simple and easy.
